The Texas Women’s Foundation has awarded $900,000 to 25 nonprofit organizations that are working to help Texas women and their families become more stable and economically secure.
The funds were awarded as part of the foundation’s 2026 Community Grant Cycle. Two special groups of supporters selected nonprofits to champion. The Texas Women’s Foundation’s Board Alumnae awarded $40,000 to Shared Housing Center and TXWF’s Nineteen network, named in honor of the organization’s 19 founders, awarded $40,000 to The Family Place.
The grant recipients were recognized during a reception on Sept. 25. They are:
Collin County: The Turning Point Rape Crisis Center (Plano)

Retiring Executive Director of Shared Housing Center Maria Machado called the grant more than an infrastructure investment. “(I)t is a direct investment in the safety, independence, and self-worth of homeless women with children across our housing programs.”
Since its inception in 1985, the Texas Women’s Foundation has given more than $90 million in grants in support of Texas women and families, and has devoted more than $25 million to research, advocacy, and educational programs.
